Line 141:
Brady: It was so close to being- Wow.
Grey: Yeah it would- it would have been, uh, it would have been just perfect. Um, but anyway, so, there's fun- fun things that happen on- on the Reddit, and again I just want to say, I think it's- it's a- it's a really great community and- and we were discussing, uh, before recording now that there's a lot of activity there and- and it's great and I really do look over the discussion, so uh, anytime you want to, uh, talk about whatever we discuss on the podcast, uh, the Reddit is a great place to go and there will be a link in the shownotes to whatever, uh, whatever the link is for this episode, so I'll put that there.
Brady: Did we hear back from Tom after his flight?
Grey: Yeah he was- he was actually okay. We did not cause him a lot of anxiety, but when he landed on the other end he said that he enjoyed it and so I'm- I'm glad that we did not give him a panic attack on the flight- or ''you'' did not give him a panic attack on the flight really, I would say that's mostly your fault.
Brady: Do you know what's amazing, Grey?
Grey: What?
Brady: Like, we're talking about- we're talking, like, you know, a week later or however long it's been, and we're not really much closer to knowing what happened to that Malaysia Airlines plane.
Grey: Oh yeah? See you have to- you have to follow these things for me, so--
Brady: You must know what's going on though, you- you're not that- you're not that oblivious to the news, are you?
Grey: Uh, well- [laughs] this might actually be something we talk about later, but, no? Last- last headline I saw was something about, uh, presumably a hijacking? Is that, uh, the current state of affairs?
Brady: No, we're no- we're nowhere near that? I don't--
Grey: Oh. See?
Brady: I don't- I don't- I don't think it was a hijacking. The- the latest is, they- they seem to be having all this satellite imagery of possible debris, you know, thousands of kilometers off the coast of Perth in Australia,--
Grey: Hm.
Brady: --quite quite some distance from where that plane was supposed to be going,--
Grey:
Brady: --so basically it's done a hard left, and then just- if this is- if it's there, it's done a hard left and just flown and flown and flown and then...--
Grey: Hm.
Brady: --maybe ran out of fuel?
Grey: Mm-hmm.
Brady: Maybe been crashed into the ocean? Like, in like the most remote- pretty much the most remote place this could happen.
Grey: Hm.
Brady: So, something's going on man.
Grey: Hm.
Brady: It's crazy.
Grey: Well--
Brady: Maybe next- maybe next week we'll know more but this is going to be a- this is- I keep thinking it's going to be something simple, and maybe it still will,--
Grey: --Mm-hmm.
Brady: --but this is looking stranger and stranger.
Grey: Hmm. Hm.
Brady: Stay tuned. Stay tuned to Brady's plane crash corner here on Hello Internet!
Grey: Yes.
Brady: [giggles]
Grey: That's exactly- yeah. I have a feeling like, I would- I- I would not want it to be, but I feel like you could make this a regular segment, every week talk about some plane crash, or some interesting story from a plane crash, I feel that the- the depth of your love for this topic is quite deep. Uh,--
Brady: At least we're not talking about freebooting anymore.
Grey: Yes, that's true, we're not talking about freebooting anymore. Uh, although I do have a follow-up item about it but probably not today, we'll save it for another time.
Brady: Okay. I'll tell you what,--
Grey: What?
Brady: You stirred up a right hornet's nest in the last episode,--
Grey: [groans]
Brady: --with this language education.
Grey: Yes, yes, I do know--
Brady: You- you knew it- you knew it was going to happen too, didn't you?
Grey: I did know that it was going to happen. I did know it was going to happen, and in- in addition to reading all of the Reddit comments, Derek of Veritasium is here in London, and uh, he has taken some time out to see me, and I- and I saw Derek earlier today and the day before and I can say that he probably spent at least eight hours of- of human effort--
Brady: [giggles]
Grey: -one-on-one, uh, trying to convince me otherwise from my opinions about dropping language classes from the curriculum, and--
Brady: You got off lightly. You got off lightly, I- when- when Derek decides he's right about something, eight hours is this nothing.
Grey: Well, I think it's only because, uh, he had to fit me in between other appointments of things that he's doing while he's over here,--
Brady: [chuckles]
Grey: --otherwise, you know, I- I left- I left Derek, uh, just- just a couple hours ago at the pub, and I think he would still be sitting there now with me trying to convince me, uh, if- if- if he hadn't had to go somewhere and we had to record this podcast. So, he's- he was- he was very intense about it, and uh,--
Brady: He's a- he's a- and obviously, if his opinion is different to yours, he's a big advocate of, uh, extensive language teaching in schools, can you sort of summarize his position for us?
Grey: Right. The answer is, I cannot summarize his position for us.
Brady: [chuckles]
Grey: [laughing] Um, and, I kept- I kept mentioning this to him in the bar because he- he had- he had actually a letter to me, he had written this whole thing on his iPhone that it- that was like--
Brady: [giggling]
Grey: --this- this, uh, this, like, bullet pointed argument about all the ways in which I was wrong, and- and all the ways in which I should- I should reconsider my- my positions, and to- to be fair to Derek, I- I cannot, I think, possibly try to summarize his arguments without getting it just- just wrong or making him more infuriated because with eight hours, there's a lot of nuance,--
Brady: Hmm.
Grey: --that you can go into. We- we can suffice it to say that I- I was not- I was not moved by Derek. Uh, I have not changed my opinion, uh,-
Brady: In any way? There was nothing he said that made a dent anywhere? No chink in your armor?
[10:00]
Grey: [laughing] If- well, it's not- it's not- it's not chink in my armor, but- but there are a few- there are a few interesting, uh, interesting kind of things to- to bring up about that. I'm not summarizing Derek's argument, what I'm about to say, but I'm going to say a similar thing that came up on the Reddit and in some of the feedback that I got was comments about the benefits of learning languages cognitive benefits that are not necessarily the language themself but things that you get from learning a second language. And I always want to be clear I don't doubt that there are benefits to learning another language
Brady: yeah
